I just want to add that stores will have to buy LARGE numbers if PS3s because people are waiting EAGERLY for It! Thanks for the nice entry.

People invested so much money into the ps3s only to find no one wanted them a month later. Old post but things sure changed.

I really don't know if people are willing to pay thousands for this. he did tell me that one did sell already in Japan for $9500. Still I wouldn't get one just to price gauge ... but that's just me ... I don't care if others do I just find it amazing that people are willing to pay thousands for a console instead of just waiting a few months ... but people do love their gaming don't they.

The BestBuy I worked at had 38 360 Systems at launch. 36.4% of 38 is 13.832 systems So one could theoriticly expect any given BestBuy, Walmart, Gamestop, etc. . . to have about 1/3 of the launch systems they had for the 360 launch. A little Algebra….
1,098,200 ship for 360 launch
400,000 expected for PS3 launch
That is 36.4% of the 360 launch systems….

Yes there were employess that set aside 360 for them selves. And from friends I have that still work there, BestBuy is not even telling their own employees how many consoles they have at their own store. From what I have seen and the news floating around. Your best bet will be smaller store. While only they will get very few consoles, there will be little to no people at these locations. I was working at the time of the 360 launch.

Then next next weeks after that (we got a shipment every 2 weeks untill first day of 2006) we got 50-60 consoles and i think some of the employees took some cuz my friend worked there and he said there was 63 and then when i waited outside there was only 56 lol... But this could be a big problem with Sony here. even if some places only got 15-20 360's. That was a bad shortage and Sony should avoid doing what Microsoft did.

Every Store in my district got 15 Consoles at Launch, and didn't get any more for over a month. The next shipment consisted of 2, which went to customers who had broken ones. We were not aware of any stores that recieved 50-100. Even the Walmart only got around 40. I worked at GameStop during the 360 launch.

A step in the wrong direction. If this is true, it's gonna be a crappy launch. Wow! A step in the wrong direction. If this is true, it’s gonna be a crappy launch.
